Your advice on something that’s troubling me, please!

Helllloooo today’s prompt! Well I had a long and hard think about this, and really the only thing on my mind right now that I’d like some advice on is mum stuff! Nothing really in particular, just helpful hints, tips and resources that have been useful to all y’all with babes. I like obsessively researching and reading about my interests, and parenting is no different. So what I’m looking for, if you don’t mind, are your favourite:

books

websites

blogs

magazines

pinterest boards

crazy nanna advice

advice you’ve found useful

funny movies you really relate to

So lay it on me – what advice/resources do you have for a mother of toddlers? Thanks so much!

Pinterest boards: I tend to just do random searches, and pin what I love, so I guess I’d recommend mine, haha!

Nanna plus other advice: So… You’re actively soliciting advice here? Brave lady! Anyway, the two things I’d share are these: One, people will tell you the world will not end if you’re laundry snot done or floors are dirty. That’s true. It won’t. It also won’t end if your baby cries a little while you sweep your floor if that’s what will save your sanity. Do whatever feeds your soul. Two, everything is a phase. Yes the bad, but also the good.

I’m currently reading ‘growing great girls’ i really like it. The psychiatrist i used to work with gave me ‘buddism for mothers’ when i was pregnant i particularly found the mindfulness stuff helpful.
Miss 3 and i watch playschool and often do the craft / cooking things from there.
My mum gives great advice i think the best was – it’s your child so do what works for you and be confident in it’

Books for youngin’s, we could never go wrong with the classics. Dr Suess, Eric Carle, Lynley Dodd all still get a work out now as my kids have moved into the learning to read for themself stage. Bluey (who is 7) loves the Diary of a Wimpy Kid series and anything Rohl Darl. We are yet to try out Harry Potter but he has also enjoyed the Lemony Snicket books (thus far, we only started them a couple of weeks ago because we found them at the library).
As for movies my kids seem to really enjoy all the stuff from when I was a kid, so 80’s through to the early 90’s. I would imagine your girls would enjoy a lot if the Disney classics, my boys do but now they’re a bit older they’re loving things like Bill and Teds Excellent Adventure, The Labyrinth, Drop Dead Fred etc.

Still to this day the best advice I ever got was to rub a lemon wedge on my kids gums when they were teething. The citric acid helps to tighten the gums helping the tooth to pop through more quickly.

I would just say based on my older two that if you adapt your parenting to their individual personality it will be a lot easier to get through to them, especially when it comes to discipline.
Based on my third I have no idea what I’m doing so who knows if I should dish out advice!

I am neither I am a Mum but they are in their 20s and no Grandbabies yet ,but one bit of advice I can give you is you can’t spoil your children with time Eg reading to them or playing with them and go with your gut ,if you feel it is right go for it ,same as when they are sick the Mum always knows better than a doctor xx
